Jack Kerouac Quotes

The universe is a great mystery.

Everything that we know is within our universe, and everything within our universe is moulded by the conditions of space, time, and causation.

There is nothing bigger or older than the universe.

Do not look at stars as bright spots only. Try to take in the vastness of the universe.

Nothing puzzles me more than the time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less.

Philosophically, the universe has really never made things in ones. The Earth is special and everything else is different? No, we've got seven other planets. The sun? No, the sun is one of those dots in the night sky. The Milky Way? No, it's one of a hundred billion galaxies. And the universe - maybe it's countless other universes.

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

That is a perspective on human life and our culture that is well worth pondering.

The Universe is a mirror of consciousness.

Nothing is the mirror in which you see the world.

It bears mentioning that the Milky Way is only one of 150 billion galaxies visible to our telescopes - and each of these will have its own complement of planets.

Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; through thought I comprehend the world.

The universe extends beyond the mind of man, and is more complex than the small sample one can study. God cannot be reduced to a sample for analysis.

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.

The public has an incredible capacity for appreciating the wonder of our planet, our solar system, our universe.

Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite.

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.
